+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+Performs a tunnel encapsulation action by encapsulating the matched flow with
+a tunnel header as defined in the``rte_flow_action_tunnel_encap``.

+This action modifies the payload of matched flows. The flow definition specified

+Performs a decapsulation action by stripping all headers of the tunnel
+network overlay from the matched flow.
